I had the note 1 and the samsung car dock with usb injector was perfect, the note slided into place and conected to the usb injector perfectly.
Its good when you use the car a lot for short trips and you need an easy car dock charger.
all other car holders are useless as i need the charging feature without having to connect the usb cable every time...
I cant find the new samsung card dock for the galaxy note 2 anywhere or any dates when it is coming out!
....Any ideas?
No idea, but I hope soon. I want this phone, but without a car dock it's going to be hard for me
Yeah! ive been waiting too. I guess you are not the only one. But will it charge slower for our galaxy note 2? cuz its using 2A charger? can the ciggrate lighter support 2A?

My in-car charger is 3A but it's wired in to the fuse box. Check your fuse box for the cigarette lighter to see what it will take before blowing, I imagine at least 5A.
Any update on this?
This is the single thing preventing me from getting this device.
They have sold over 3 million Note II's and they still don't have an official car dock?
I use my phone way too much in my car to settle for junk. I want landscape mode capable dock with USB injector and a good charger as we all know we should get from Samsung. If we get an official dock I'm getting a Note II ASAP.
PS: does this phone support Apt-x bluetooth audio?
I spent some coin on the HTC bluetooth adapter and it works fantastic with my EVO 4G LTE's bluetooth 4.0 with Apt-x... if it would work with this phone I'd do a jig.

Yes it does support APT-X.
I am also hoping to see the dock soon. I used it with my original Note and am missing it now.

I think that looks fugly however. Are there any docks that use landscape orientation or is it pretty much portrait across the board with this phone? I think landscape is so much better...
Edit: I see that it is capable of landscape rotation

Standard bluetooth stereo audio is usually terrible compared to plugging directly into the headphone jack. Apt-X (only with compatible devices, example: http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Stereo-Clip-On-Bluetooth-Headset/dp/B0057WWK5E ) gives much better quality sound.
Car mode removed on Galaxy Note 2
All, we at iBOLT (manufacturer of car-docks) have been checking into the Jellbean Kernel and for some reason Samsung does not support car-mode or aux-out through the microUSB and car-mode at this time. If you want these features, please contact Samsung so we can put some pressure to have these features reinstated. Technically it would be very simple to do so for Samsung.

Hay Mikael thanks for taking such a close interest in our crasy community's feedback. I would count on a mod being available soon for us to use if we have a car dock with intergrated usb aux out. Although if Samsung wont enable this you cant advertise it but its a safe bet one of us is going to get a weekend itch and scratch out a mod.

At least one person has reported the Note II working with the same cable provided with the S3 iBolt car dock. Perhaps some kernels from different carriers still have support built in? Post in question seems to be referring to the T-Mobile version.

I'm using a NFC tag to open Car Home Ultra which triggers car mode. It also sets the brightness and screen timeout settings.

I used to have Note 1 and original Samsung car mount for it. Now i use that same car mount for my Note 2. It's not ideal fit, but it works good enough. Can be used in both, portrait and landscape mode.

I am not seeing this result, but I have the Sprint version of the Note 2. Sounds like there are some different kernels floating around with different features. I have been able to "force" car mode by getting creative (and a little stupid) and restoring the "Dock Mode" app from my HTC Evo 3D (thank you Titanium Backup) and running that app's "Car Mode" activity as a short cut, but the only way to get it out of car mode at that point is to reboot
I'm hoping for a little bit cleaner method of doing this in the near future.

check out my review. just in case you were in the market for one. i highly recommend it
Samsung announced a few accessories when they launched their Galaxy Tab. I finally had the chance to pick up the Vehicle Mount (aka Car Dock) and take it for a spin. Check out my unboxing and initial impressions of this car dock.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gl2Ktb9Skac&feature=player_embedded
Summary:
When I bought the official HTC car dock for my Nexus One I thought to myself, “this is how a car dock should be!”. When I sold it, and started using the Galaxy Tab as my primary device, I new I had to find a car dock with the same precision and quality that the dock for my Nexus One had. I was quite surprised at the exceptional build quality of this car dock. The dock contours to meet the curvature of the Galaxy Tab and it just fits perfectly. The 3.5 mm headphone jack as well as the mic, volume rockers and power buttons are all accessible when docked. The bottom of the dock has the proprietary 30 pin connector that, not only helps secure the device but, allow you to charge it too. Being able to charge the device with the included car charger is a true bonus; one less thing you have to pay for. Once docked, the Tab will automatically go into car mode (not working in the video) and gives you access to quick functions like making a call or doing a quick search. This car dock retails for $69.99 but you can find it as cheap as $45.99 from mobilecityonline.com and its worth every penny. I must say, Samsung really came through with this product and I am excited to try out the rest of the accessories for the Galaxy Tab. Okay enough reading, GO BUY IT NOW! You won’t regret it.
Nice review, thanks! Going to order one ASAP.
I ordered one from the Amazon Marketplace for about 56 w/shipping. Some guy has them listed at full retail on eBay with or best offer. So I typed in a note and a link saying I'd do it for that same price if he could match, only response with no note back was a counter offer for $67... LOL. I guess it's not worth doing business with someone who doesn't even bother to notice what you wrote to them.
I just wish that it was possible to make these in a way that would allow a proper case to be used with the Tab. I have what I think is a very protective case, but because of it, this would not work for me.
Hey, is there enough room with the connector part slid back to insert another connector?
Reason I ask is that this thing would make a nice desktop dock when it wasn't in the car if you could still use the standard USB to 20 pin connector.
I guess you could use that USB to coax cable with the regular AC charger indoors to keep it powered up, but it would be nice to have USB connectivity as well (file transfers, flashing, etc).
Croak: Will have to check but by memory there is not enough room. I will try too look at it when I get back home tognight, the dock is in gf's car.
Really like this car dock by the way !
After looking at it there is def no place to put another connector there

Simple solution, just mount it the opposite direction it supposed to be mounted.

/slaps forehead.
Any chance we will see a combo cable that would allow charging via usb/and also provide audio out? Id like to run a charging cable behind the dashboard of my car for docking in a cradle, and also have audio out for the auxiliary input to the headunit without having to run a second wire.
Not that running a second wire would be much of a hassle, but would prefer a cleaner look when docked and one less wire when not in the dock
I wish Samsung had put some thought into their car dock. Id be happy to buy the official dock if they hadn't dropped the ball on this one.
It was easy to convert the car dock so it has audio as well.
If You seek on my posts You will find a how to.
Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but I couldn't find the howto. I would like to mod the OWM car dock to allow audio output, and I'd appreciate any help in such direction.

i have this one
but u can find even cheaper on that site
hey, quick question: does it work only for video? or power point as well? thank you
it does
its a good alternative to the dock even if its not HD
Do I get my music through this cable? Or does it work with combined video audio files only?

i searched through a ton of your posts and didn't see anything besides the pinout. my question is how do you take apart the plug to get to the connector, and are all the pins available to solder to?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=9985704#post9985704
well here is the post where the gentleman posts to replace a resistor to get it to output audio to the dock. the only question left is how to take the thing apart, whether it comes apart nicely or i have to break out the dremel...
Not sure if you need the same as I do, but my idea was also to have a USB charging plug and an audio-out jack. It wasn't easy, but I found this:

I got one off Amazon, some off brand but it gives a terrible hum in the audio and the tab doesn't see it as a dock.....still looking for a solution

I purchased the official samsung car dock that fits the note II according to their website. It's nice, it does the job, I get an official car charger with it however I have to make sure to plug it in, which whatever. The problem is, I could have gotten a cheaper but just as functional dock for the half the price had I knows this official one from samsung does NOT activate the car dock mode, and to be honest, driving mode on the samsung is a joke. Looks like I will have to purchase NFC tags to get the job done.

well to be fare to expect a universal dock to activate any mode that's designed for all of the galaxy devices is a little unfair.
I know these have most likely not being produced but just in case anyone may know off something.
I currently run the app radio 2 and have my Note 2 in the glovebox but would prefer a car dock that could be powered and support HDMI/MHL.
A neat and tidy solution as the current MHL/HDMI solution is messy and not nice to look at and would be nice to be able to access the phone in times when there are issues with the App Radio.
I recently bought one of these cables.
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B009N7E6IS/ref=cm_sw_r_an_am_ap_am_us?ie=UTF8
It works great for my TVs and I didn't need to buy the Samsung mhl Adaptor.
I'm pretty sure it wouldn't look too messy when paired with a decent looking car mount.
But I would like to know if your stereo head unit has an HDMI input because other wise this would be useless.

Hi all, I am trying to use my ibolt car dock with my Note 4 (not rooted) but I cant seem to find the option to route the audio music (not calls) through the car speakers via usb. There used to be an option on the Note 2 and 3 that changed the audio from the phone speakers to the usb. This setting was in the Accessories menu I believe but I dont see it in the note 4. Has anyone else tried using this dock with the Note 4? Perhaps there is a tasker function that can be used? Ideas?
On my S3 it is under Accessories and says Audio Output Mode. I plan on buying a Note 4 tomorrow and would also like to use my car dock.

having the same problem with the note2 smart dock. audio not going out the 3.5mm jack or hdmi.
Can't you use the samsung 5 to 11 pin audio mhl audio adapter?

That's what mine looks like.
From what I've read it looks like Samsung removed it just like in the S5. Hope it can somehow be added back in a custom rom/kernel.
Well that blows, I guess I'll have to use bluetooth for now.
Aww man, that sucks - why would they do that?
Just bought and active iBolt dock for my Note 4 only to now discover I can't use the active function.
Yeah this sucks. Anyone pick a good bluetooth replacement for acar with only AUX in?
Next mod for my truck will be a Bluetooth radio. I'm considering the AppRadio. Anyone have any experience with the new one?
